I don't know how other Countries do their Disabitily Compensation for their Veterans but i know a little about how America does it. I'm a life member of Disabled American Veterans (D.A.V.) chapter Tri-County #26. I am 20% disabled for ringing in my ears and hearing loss, service connected, that happened in 1975. I get a check for over $230 a month from the U.S. Government, it goes up from time to time. You can work a normal job, and work all your life and still get your service connected disability check. I just did this a few years ago. My Dad suggested this to me because my hearing isn't all that great LOL!!! I told my Dad "i've been out of the Army since 1975 LOL" He told me to give it a try. I told him "i will". In 7 months, i was getting a service connected disability check.
My Dad is 100% service connected disabled. He gets a check for over $2500 a month. He has frost bite and P.T.S.D., hearing loss and a few other things. It took him over 8 years for him to get to this rating, because of records long lost and things like that. He also get a free DV (Disabled Veteran license plate for his car and truck). He never has to pay every year for a new plate since he is 100% service connected military disabled. My Dad also had a good paying job until he retired at 62 years old.
My ex-brother inlaw, hurt his shoulder in High School (gymn class). He went into the Army and his shoulder started to bother him. He told the Doctors he hurt it in Basic Training and they operated on it. He can't lift his right arm straight over his head, even after the operation........when he got out of the Army he applied for military disability compensation........He got a 30% rating and get over $360 a month for the rest of his life. It can go to higher ratings as he get older. He can still work a normal job and still get his Military service connected Disability Check.
My Son is in the Marines. He has P.T.S.D, hearing loss and bad knees. I told him to keep all records of his Doctor visits. Sometimes medical records in the Military "DISAPPEAR" LOL!!!
What i'm trying to tell you guys is.............If your in the Military, start you a MEDICAL FOLDER. Keep personal copies of your Doctor visits. Just ask your Doctor of a copy of what was done to you and the reason why ETC. They will do it. It will make it so much easer when you leave the military for you to start getting Service Connected Disability Compensation. I get 20%, over $230 a month for something that happened in 1975 LOL!!! I could have been getting this for all those years if i had known about it. Like i said before, i've just been getting this check for only a couple of years and it only took 7 months to start the check on something that happened way back in 1975.
All Veterans have some hearing loss. The ratings go from 10% up to 100%. Even if your old, like me LOL!!! There might be some money coming your way. I'm having my Son to keep a copy of what the Doctor does or has to say everytime he goes to the Doctor, and keeping all his personal records in a folder. The Military is famous for losing medical records.
My Dad knows a guy who got a service connected Disability rating of 100% just for hearing loss.
You can have a Service Connected Disability Rating, 10% to 100% and still work a normal job, all your life. The amount of money you get a month will not go down, even if you win the lottery LOL!!! I just wish i had know about this back in 1975. I lost out on a nice piece of change. LOL!!!
I hope this makes sense to you all. I'm not very good at explaining things LOL!!!
